this might be a stupid question but I bought a bag of dipel dust and I am wondering how other people go about using it. I assume you put it on the actual plant, but what is the preferred method? Sprinkle it by hand? Put it in a pepper shaker ;)?
Also, is there a big difference between spinosad and bt? from what I've read they are basically for the same purpose, do you agree? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are no stupid questions. You can apply Dipel with a shaker can if you have one. If you scatter it by hand, I'd wear gloves. If you are going to use Dipel and similar dust products, you might want to invest in a Dustin-Mizer or something similar. Bt is a microbial pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis, that comes in several forms. Bt 'Kurstaki', for example, targets needle- and leaf-ingesting caterpillars and it is the one we commonly use for cabbage loopers, imported cabbage worms, tomato hornworms, fruitworms and pinworms, corn earworms, etc. Dipel is a Bt 'Kurstaki' product. Bt 'Israelensis' comes in both round dounghnut-shaped dunks that you drop into water and in granular 'bits' you can scatter on the surface of water and it targets mosquito larvae, killing them before they can develop from the larval form to the flying mosquito form. Bt 'San Diego' targets Colorado Potato Beetles. There are other more obscure forms of Bt available through some organic providers but they are mostly used in commercial production for highly specialized purposes. Each version of Bt targets a fairly narrow category of pest, so it is more of a narrow-spectrum bioinsecticide. Spinosad, on the other hand, is more of a broad-spectrum microbial pesticide and it targets a wider range of pest. It is organic though, and does not target as many kinds of pests as synthetic broad-spectrum pesticides so it still is safer to use around beneficial insects as long as the beneficials are carnivores and not omnivores. In order for Spinosad to work (and Bt too) it has to be ingested by the targeted pest, and since most beneficials eat other insects and not the treated plant parts, it tends not to affect them. I think it can harm bees so it is best not to use it when bees are out. So, if I know I am targeting a specific pest on which Bt is effective, I use the Bt that works on that pest since it won't harm anything else and I like to take the approach that does the least harm. If I need pest control of a problem insect that is not affected by Bt, Spinsosad is the choice. So, no, I don't agree they are basically the same because one is narrow-spectrum and the other is broad-spectrum. However, they are the same in the way that they work--via ingestion--and in the fact that both are produced from naturally-occuring microbes. You can use Spinosad on any of the pests that the Bt's are used for and it probably will kill them. However, the Bts are more limited and only work on their target group. And, if you really love butterflies and moths, be careful using Bt 'Kurstaki' or you'll wipe out your butterfly and moth population. Hope this info helps. Dawn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Info on the Dustin-Mizer
Last week, I pulled open the top husks of most of my corn and sprinkled Dipel dust on the top corn kernels to kill the earworms that were in all my ears. I hoped that I was doing it right but really don't know if this is a safe way to use the dust. I had heard that it was approved for organic use. James |
James, Bt is a bacteria that targets only caterpillars and similar pests, so it is perfectly safe to sprinkle directly on the corn. I don't like genetically-modified crops (and don't grow them), but one type of GMO they are making for commercial producers is crops that have Bt inserted into them (I don't know how they do that) and one of the GMO crops is BT-corn. Dawn |
Dawn, And so when you eat GMO BT corn, your getting a dose of insecticide as well. Better living thru chemistry? I guess I'm just old fashioned but I prefer my corn to not be laced genetically with pesticides. Barbara |
Is there a type of Bt that targets ants and/or fleas? I have a new garden pond, and I had ALOT of tadpoles, which are now toads. They are still very little and I don't want to do any harm to them. But, ants and fleas are a problem. Thanks, Vickie |
Barbara, Well, then you need to purchase only organic foods, including sodas (high fructose corn syrup) if you drink them, because you won't find much, if any, corn produced conventionally in this country that isn't either GMO or raised chemically. Vickie, For ants, I use EcoSense fire ant granules or Safer fire ant granules, which contain Spinosad. I find the EcoSEnse ones at Wal-Mart. At our Wal-Mart they are on the shelf near the Miracle-Grow and other water-soluable plant fertilizers, and not with the regular pesticides. Wal-Mart's EcoSense line is limited, but at least they have a few organic products there in the store. Safer and other companies also market spinosad-based organic ant killers. For fire ants, the product you want is Come and Get It (linked below). I haven't heard if spinosad is effective on fleas, so if you try it and it works, I hope you'll let us know. I've never heard of a Bt that targets ants. The closest thing to a biological control for ants is other ants that eat them (for example, our native fire ants eat imported fire ants) and Texas A&M has been releasing the phorid fly for years (on an experimental basis) and this fly targets fire ants, but it is not even close to being available to home consumers yet. Dawn |

Thanks, Dawn. Sounds like what I need. Kill the Queen, kill the colony. |
I have honey bee hives and am concerned as to wether or not the use of dipel dust in my garden will kill the bees. |
James -- I know this is a few years after your post . . . still, it might be of help in the future. I have found the #1 best cure for the corn earworm problem is to dust the silks with ground black pepper (like the stuff you would use as a spice when cooking). You can usually buy a sizable bottle for a $1 at most "dollar" stores. McCormack's brand will work too, yet it is quite expensive to use a brand name for such and application. The moths can't stand the pepper, and thus they won't hang around the silks long enough to lay eggs (which later hatch out into what we know as the earworm). |
Black pepper for corn earworm... It's almost corn planting season in Florida and I'm always plagued by corn earworm so I'll have to give it a try. |
- Posted by centerhill 6 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 18, 11 at 2:43
black pepper works ok for corn ear worm....but it only lasts about 2 days...and if it rains that is it for the pepper. My Granddad taught me to put a few drops of mineral oil in the tops of the ears of corn when they first set silks by using an ear dropper. it works great and will only have to be done once. I have never had a problem with earworms on any corn that was treated this way, and it is perfectly safe AND cheap (olive oil also works well). |

2012 Buyer's Guide: Trail Mountain Bikes
Santa Cruz Blur TRc R XC - $3,800
1 / 12
For years, Santa Cruz offered only two versions of its flagship Blur. The racy XC bike offered 100mm of travel while the LT, with 140mm of travel, catered to rowdier riders. But this year, the company found room in the middle for a third Blur. The TRc does have a unique personality. The slack head tube, for example, adds stability on steep descents but also requires you to weight the front end while cornering to avoid washing out. The low bottom bracket, which lets the bike rip around corners and stay upright through slow-speed, technical terrain, leads to more frequent pedal strikes. But if you're fast on climbs and descents, and look for fun in your bikes, the Blur TRc could be an ideal fit.

Jets Release Training Camp Schedule
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jul 4, 2012 in Main, News | 0 comments
The New York Jets released the 2012 training camp schedule which starts July 27th. The players arrive the day before to check in and with the new CBA, fans will notice a lighter schedule. Practices are once a day from 8-11am.
When I went to camp in 09′ and 10′, I remember a morning session, a break, and then an afternoon session that went until 5ish. We will also see less pads this year as well. This is what the players voted on so if you are looking for more action, it's what is the new rule of the land.
Saturday, July 28 – 8:00 – 11:00 am (First open practice)
Sunday, July 29 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Monday, July 30 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Wednesday, August 1 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Thursday, August 2: 8:00 – 11:00 am
Friday, August 3 – 8:00 – 11:00 am (Closed)
Saturday, August 4 –6:00 – 9:00 pm (Annual Green & White game)
Monday, August 6 – 10:15 a.m. – 1:15 pm
Tuesday, August 7 – 8:00 – 11:00 am (Closed)
Wednesday, August 8 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Friday, August 10 – Preseason Game #1 @ Cincinnati Bengals, 7:30 pm
Sunday, August 12 – 10:15 a.m. – 1:15 pm
Monday, August 13 – 8:00 – 11:00 am (Closed)
Tuesday, August 14 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Wednesday, August 15 – 8:00 – 11:00 am
Thursday, August 16 – 8:00 – 11:00 am (Closed)
Saturday, August 18 – Preseason Game #2 vs. New York Giants, 7:00 pm
Monday, August 20 – Practice, Jets Training Center, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm (Closed)
Tuesday, August 21 – Jets Family Night, Hofstra University, 5:30 – 8:30 pm
Wednesday, August 22 – Practice at Jets Training Center, 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 pm (Closed)
Thursday, August 23 – Practice, Jets Training Center, 8:00 – 11:00 am
Friday, August 24 – Practice, Jets Training Center, 8:00 – 11:00 am
Sunday, August 26th – Preseason Game #3 vs. Carolina Panthers, 8:00 pm
Thursday, August 30 – Preseason Game #4 @ Philadelphia Eagles, 6:35 pm
So, when I made my plans (blindly) we arrive on a Monday Night (July 30th) and find out that there is no practice the next day. We get to see ONE session on Wednesday and then we go home. So if you are walking around Cortland on Tuesday (and you happen to be a Jets player) give me a tweet and we'll meet up. I would love to have you on my podcast and or interview you for the blog.
If you aren't a player, still hit me up. We can chat about our beloved Jets.

Last night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Dr. Oz measured the late night hosts omentum -- the organ connected to the stomach where fat is caught and stored.
Kimmel's show on May 3 featured Dr. Oz ("The Dr. Oz Show"), actress Leslie Bibb and musical guest, Two Door Cinema Club.
In case you are curious, the omentum was introduced to the smallscreen audiences by TV's hottest medic, Dr. Mehmet Oz, to discuss the nature of excess body fat.
For Oprah's television viewers, Dr. Oz introduced the concept of the omentum, even showing both a healthy and an overly fat omentum to people to showcase the biological importance of this organ.
The Oprah segment took a somewhat simplified yet medically correct approach to explaining the omentum, and organ split into two segments called the greater and lesser omentum.
The greater omentum is a mass that sits in front of the stomach, and the lesser omentum covers the liver. Both become easy repositories for fat storage. When the greater omentum is especially large, the abdomen may appear stiff and distended bringing to mind the term beer belly.
The omentum easily stores fat to be readily accessible to the body. When people lose weight, the omentum shrinks, helping to reduce risks for a myriad of health issues.
Dr. Oz contends that the great concern with a fatty omentum is that it starts inflammatory processes, which can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, and hardening of the arteries. Essentially the bigger the omentum, the more you are at risk for all these ills.
The omentum also receives and stores hormones like cortisol, called a stress hormone. High stress can stimulate its growth. People who are under a great deal of stress may find that reducing the size of this organ is very difficult, and they are often advised not simply to diet, but also to reduce stress through a variety of therapies, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes. Stress and tummy fat are inexorably connected.
The healthy omentum should be nearly transparent, and have a lacy look.
A large and unhealthy omentum can be three to four times or even more, the size of the healthy organ. Fat cells extend the organ to make it appear like a weighty, globular mass.
Jimmy Kimmel also gets his wedding tackle checked out by Dr. Oz. Have a gander:

The seed catalogs have begun to arrive. Time to consider "new" varieties for demos , check prices, and complete orders. Orders are in before the New Year. Over time I've learned to evaluate seed costs carefully. One seed supplier may pack small volumes at what appears to be good prices. When broken down to a cost per seed there may be notable differences in prices. Calculating the amount of seed and the cost (including shipping…) is a late fall job. When done well costs are minimized and planning for the season follows.
My preferred suppliers provide ample information to make clear evaluations. For example Johnny's has a cost chart for Bush Beans. It makes easy reference. Jade beans are $3.45 for a packet (175 seeds) of .0197 cents/seed and .0066/seed if 1000 are purchased. 175 seeds plants ~25' . If you plan 400' you'd need 16 packets and cost $55.20. Or by bulk you'd need 2.28 pounds and you'd pay $25.00 with some left over at a cost per seed of .0058. Comparing between seed suppliers often shows dramatic cost differences. One supplier may have the best prices in pepper seeds then be dramatically different in carrot seeds. All fun with numbers!
One point that often makes evaluation a bit cumbersome is when suppliers mix grams and ounces of seed within a catalog. Seed sellers must copy into their catalogs the information from sources. Many suppliers probably use the metric measurements while domestic ones are in ounces. The cost per seed calculation remains similar but a few more steps to accurately order the correct quantity.
Some catalogs are fun to leaf through and enjoy the pictures and side bar information. The pictures of ideal and beautiful crops is nice eye candy. Some catalogs I read. Like Fedco's always enjoyable catalog. Social commentary and realistic descriptions. No pictures in their catalog. I usually end up ordering from a handful of reliable suppliers that carry the varieties I trust and have the customer support needed .

text: Martha Persico, born Martha Mary D'Errico, passed away Saturday afternoon, March 15, 2014, at the Sunset Lake Health and Rehabilitation Center in Venice, Florida after a decade-long struggle with Alzheimer's. She was 92 years old. Martha was born on August 19, 1921, in Gloversville, New York to a family of eleven brothers and sisters. Martha met her husband, Charlie Persico, after he returned from World War II at a USO dance in Gloversville. They were married on October 5, 1947. Martha worked for many years as a glovemaker at various shops in Gloversville. Martha loved to sit in the sun at the beach, and was able to spend her winters for 25 years at her family's place in the Cayman Islands. Martha will be most remembered for her great cooking, her infectious smile and her role as a phenomenal caregiver to many members of both her family and her husband's family. The daily coffee hour at Martha's kitchen was always the center of many friends' and family members' social lives. She was a great role model for motherhood and selfless giving. Martha is survived by her three children, Marie Hermes (Tom, husband), Catherine Giarrizzo (Edward, husband) and Charles Persico; her two grandchildren, Thomas Hermes (Kristin, wife) and Karen Lakiotis (George, husband); her siblings, Antoinette Sena, Peter D'Errico, Jennie Palmieri, and Angeline Budinscak; and many nieces and nephews.

Over the last few months I've been checking out the campaigns on Kickstarter.
With many Kickstarter campaigns, the question is - what's in it for me? And, I guess that's a fair question as many of these campaigns are seeking funds to start a commercial business.
However, one campaign that I came across last week was the Johnston Mark II rocket.
The campaign is being run by Bryan Friestad, a Junior at Johnston Senior High School in Johnston, Iowa; he's hoping to use the funds to complete a school project.
Bryan has plans on building a nice big 10 feet tall and 3 inches in diameter blue-tube rocket with a 54mm motor mount.
Cesaroni is his motor hardware of choice. He's seeking to purchase a 54mm starter set along with a P54-3G White reload (It's a K350)
The Johnston Mark II rocket will be carrying a payload that includes an 808 Key chain camera, A Transolve BeepX sonic beacon for recovery and a Jolly Logic AltimeterTwo - giving this project some data back after the flight.
A full breakdown of the costs involved in the project is available on the Kickstarter page.
So, that question - What's in it for me? That's an easy one! I've got an opportunity to pay it forward, to give back to the rocket community in a positive way. Oh, and since I've selected the $50 "Official Sponsor" level, I get my website's name on the rocket, too! Both pretty neat!
Now it's your turn! Head on over to Bryan's campaign on Kickstarter and pledge a few dollars! The campaign is active now, through to October 23rd 2014 - Don't leave it to the last minute to get on board!
With perfect weather, Jase and his family joined us at the Dandenong Wetlands for a small launch. Jase had been working with his daughter Zoe on a school project and had built a fantastic looking rocket. This was the first opportunity to launch it on an Estes D12-3 motor.
(Zoe's Rocket on a D12-3)
I also launched "Twisted" - the Finless Rocket!!
So, how did it fly? Check out the video after the jump. You can also check out the full set of photos of the day here on Flickr.
Some time ago I had an idea for a spin-stabilised rocket. Instead of using fins, I thought if I could get a rocket to spin fast enough, it would travel straight much like a bullet does. The idea bumped around inside my head until the other day - so I started building!
First thing was to construct a motor mount. This comprised of a cluster of three 13mm motors. I also created an internal launch lug.
Continued after the jump!
Saturday June 8 was the first of a two day launch for Rocketry Victoria and the weather couldn't have been better!
I launched two rockets - My 10" Art Applewhite saucer on 3 D motors and my upscale Blue Bird Zero on a H128 - both great flights :)
More photos and videos after the jump or check out the full set of photos here on Flickr
Despite the weather, Rocketfest XVIII went ahead on May 26th at Eric's property in Officer. Upon arrival, the rain was bucketing down but stopped shortly after and held off for the remainder of the day.
Only a few flyers and a handful of spectators, a fairly typical turn-out but lots of fun regardless. The theme of the day was "Go Small" and there were quite a few entries :)
Lots of fun was had with these little rockets. My spool rocket was the smallest by 2mm. Karl's rocket (2nd from the right) was the highest and Darren's pointy one with the long fins in the middle was probably the most entertaining.
More photos and videos after the jump...
With the announcement of Rocketfest XVIII, a theme was chosen - "Go Small". The guidelines for the competition was to build the smallest stable flying rocket that used an un-modified Estes motor.
Since the 13mm A3-4 and A10-3 motors are the smallest Estes motors currently in production, this is what I went with. My idea was to create a spool rocket.
I decided to create two - one using a single motor and the other, a cluster of thee motors.
How did they fly? Check out the videos after the jump!
I like small rockets, so building the Fliskits Tumble Weed looked like a lot of fun!
The build is fairly straight-forward with only a handful of parts needed.
Continued after the jump...
May 5th marked the first launch for the year. It was a nice warm day with little wind - you couldn't have asked for better conditions.
The big launch of the day was Karl's 1/4 scale V2. Karl's working towards building a full 1:1 scale model. The flight was fantastic. Recovery was hampered only by the parachute catching on the guy-wires used to help keep the fins straight.
More photos after the jump
Towards the end of 2012, I signed up for the Secret Santa on the Rocketry Forum. During the course of the event, names were swapped and everyone posted off a gift to someone else. My secret santa arranged for one of Art Applewhite's 10" Clustered flying saucers to be delivered under my tree!
A little while ago I started work on the saucer. The kit comprised of a sheet of foam-core board, some bright green paper and a good selection of tubes. The build was straight-forward and the bulk of the build was completed in a couple of evenings. I didn't document the build.
Here's the final result -
Back in November Bill from 3D Rocketry announced his new kit, the Nautilus III I thought it looked like a super rocket so I contacted Bill and he was happy to post one off to Australia and it arrived within a couple of weeks.
First impressions is that this is a good solid kit. The 54mm body tube is solid and has a very tough nose cone. The centering rings are 4mm ply and the fins are 3mm ply. The instructions are straight forward and even describes how to do internal fillets - something that you'll want to do as externally, there's some strips of basswood that go between the body tube and the fins.
I used an Estes 29mm motor retainer (for the price, these are great value). I swapped out the supplied launch lug for rail buttons and attached the shock cord to the forward centering ring with a screw-eye.
The kit as it comes is designed to fly on a range of F's but with the quality of the parts supplied, there should be no reason why it won't perform just as well on G's (I'm looking forward to seeing it go up on a G64!!)
As for finishing the Nautilus III, I thought what a rocket would look like if Capt. Nemo had a rocket and looking at the Nautilus submarine, it seemed like it would be metal that was a bit old and rusted. I took some time, read through a bunch of tutorials and had a go at airbrushing the metal & rust effect. I'm happy with the end result :)
I had a lot of fun building this kit. View the full build thread on The Rocketry Forum and the photos on Flickr.

The Queue: More like zero class, am I right? {WoW}
Mar 21st 2011 12:00AM To add to that, apparently the act of commenting logged me into the system. But when I click the "edit profile" "change password" or "change avatar" buttons, again nothing happens, even across Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. I don't have access to another computer to see if it's my problem, but it's still downright annoying, and I wasn't sure where else to ask.
The Queue: More like zero class, am I right? {WoW}
Mar 20th 2011 11:58PM This isn't strictly WoW-related, but...how do I use this site? I managed to sign up a while ago, but setting up a password for commenting has proven to be a pain in the ass. And I can't figure out how to change my avatar or display name. For some reason it defaulted to my actual name, something I'm not entirely comfortable with. But I can't even seem to log in to change anything. When I click the login button under my profile name when it asks "are you Kyle? Login here!" nothing happens. I've tried it on multiple browsers, same thing. A bit of a "How to use the WoW Insider website" tutorial might be useful...
Shifting Perspectives: Feral cat raiding strats for Cataclysm, part 1 {WoW}
Mar 20th 2011 11:53PM While my druid will most likely never see that fight, it's good to know that there is at least some reason to stack druids in bleeding edge content. Even if it's just because of cheesy mechanics, at least we're in a good place.
Raid Rx: Blackwing Descent healing playbook {WoW}
Mar 20th 2011 7:03PM 25 man tips are great and all, but from my understanding the majority of the raiding is in 10's these days. Any 10 man tips?
Around Azeroth: Tornado drill {WoW}
Mar 19th 2011 11:12AM Amusingly, this comes right after we had a tornado in my town. While it wasn't very big, and the damage was limited to tearing the roof off a landscaping company, it's still a very strange thing to have happen in Northern California.
Shifting Perspectives: Embracing the hybrid nature of feral druids {WoW}
Mar 16th 2011 1:40AM I don't personally gem for dodge. preferring straight agil or agil/stam gems, with the occasional agil/mastery gem tossed in for good yellow bonuses. But as for the reforging, dodge is a secondary stat, so you're reforging a non-avoidance stat (like the haste that seems to pop up everywhere) into an avoidance stat. It complements the agility, not runs counter to it.
Gold Capped: How to do the jewelcrafting shuffle {WoW}
Mar 14th 2011 11:46PM Elementium ore is down to 21g a stack on Fizzcrank (Horde). Needless to say, I bought up about 50 stacks of the stuff. At bare minimum prospecting, I'm making about 16g profit per stack. I just wish I had some way of further automating the prospecting process, because this takes forever. I haven't even gotten around to trying to vendor any of it...
Patch 3.3 PTR: Shadow Priest buffs galore in build 10571 {WoW}
Oct 13th 2009 7:57PM First, lemme say: OMG YAY BUFFZ! I leveled my priest as shadow and loved it, but ended up making my main spec Discipline, since healing priests were much more popular than shadow, with its under-performing DPS compared to other classes and lack of unique contribution to the raid. Hopefully this will give us a real shot at becoming competitive, at least on par with other hybrids. It does raise some questions, though. How will the hasted DoT's interact with temporary haste buffs (trinkets, haste pots, the 4-pc t8 set bonus)? Will it simply speed them up for the duration of the buff, or will it be an important part of your rotation to make sure those procs are up before casting to gain the buff?
Breakfast Topic: How to be realm-famous {WoW}
Oct 8th 2009 4:33PM On my server, Fizzcrank-US, Horde side, the most famous person was Newfietauren. He was the guild leader of Hordeland Security, but what made him so famous was his constant and successful raids on Alliance cities. In fact, they were scheduled every Wednesday at the same server time. Sure, the Alliance expected them, but the raids were still successful. The shining moment of glory was when some Alliance were trash-talking us on the realm forums and challenging the Horde, and Newfie organized and lead a TWO HUNDRED MAN RAID on Stormwind. It was epic. Beyond that, we have our infamous trade trolls, like Frisskeh, and a ninja that has multiple threads reporting him on the realm forums, a blood elf DK named Aesdel.
We Have a Tabard: Strange bedfellows {WoW}
Oct 5th 2009 3:47PM My server is rather Alliance-heavy, so when faction changes came out, a group of some of the top Alliance players transferred over to Horde, in a guild called "XFERRING FOR TENACITY". It's changed the progression balance Hordeside a bit, as members have either gone off to bolster the established top raiding guilds, or have stayed in XFT and become a solid progression guild in its own right. Unfortunately, we've also seen an increase in trolls and ninjas who were probably forced out of the Alliance.
I do Wintergrasp fairly regularly, and I am bound to have repeat encounters with the same Alliance players, some of the more hardcore PVPers I recognize and fear from me getting ganked many times. It's always amusing to see one of those names pop up as having joined a pug raid Hordeside. That's one less person to kick my squishy ass.

Retail Price: $16.00 Sale Price: $7.69
L-Tyrosine (500mg) Overview NOW L-Tyrosine is a pharmaceutically-pure free form tyrosine supplement in the most commonly-used potency, 500 mg. NOW L-tyrosine can be a useful way to boost mood and alertness since it can be converted into brain chemicals associated with a positive state-of-mind. Tyrosine is also a critical factor for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism, so NOW L-Tyrosine is often used for thyroid support too. For best results on mood and alertness, take L-tyrosine on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 3 hours after eating. For thyroid support, take NOW L-Tyrosine with food.
L-Tyrosine (500mg) Description from NOW L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. In addition, because L-Tyrosine is necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormone and epinephrine (adrenaline), L-Tyrosine supports healthy glandular function and stress response.
Ingredients: Other Ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) and Stearic Acid (vegetable source).
Manufacturer's Directions As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times daily, preferably between meals.
Hey L-Tyrosine users! L-Tyrosine is L-Tyrosine and this companys version works well. I use it for weightlifting and academic/college based studying. For me this stuff works to help with my focus, concentration, memory enhancement, and sleep! Its not a so-called miracle pill, but it works like one- for me anyway. I dont bother with the dosage requirements for L-Tyrosine pills. I usually take 3 to 6 pills when I need them- all at once or thru out the entire day/night. WARNING: I tend to get minor headaches from this at times, but it is manageable. Just remember to stay hydrated with water! Ive ordered "L-Tyrosine" from AllStarHealth.com many times before because of their low prices!

And come to think of it this is a good geopolical moment(no USSR, still not enough China in the Middle East) for Israel to take back the Sinai, move up to the Litani, take a larger chunk of the Golan Heigths and whatever they want of Jordan, and for desert, regime change in Damascus and Amman, should the incoming Arab Revolutionary regimes be silly enough to launch any kind of hostile escalation that would lead to war and justify the above mentioned militarily feasable scenarios.
One lesson of the Irak War is that military occupations are hopeless, but military victories against arab regimes are a piece of cake.
Bibi must be a good actor: right now he probably is ecstatic.
@ Froy":
"...current Arab World revolution is anything but religious."
World Revolution? This is purely religious notion and term: Leninist. Wow, what a mix of Mohammedan and Communist creeds! What does Yusuf al-Qaradawi think about this?
Both in Tunisia and Egypt there is popular support for a broader establishment of sharia – the Mohammedan law, developed from the Koran and religious writings. This law is far from certain: in Morocco, for example, the legal age of female marriage is 18, whereas in Saudi Arabia girls as young as 8 are married to much older men.
Women's rights will become the first victim of the impossible task to blend some version of sharia with some version of democracy. It's absolutely sure that a crossbreed will be as barren as a mule.
Dear Cutters, I don't need to prove or disprove any of your fantasies. It'll be like proving again that the Earth is revolving around the Sun - totally redundant activity since the science had proved it long ago.
@ Cutters:
"There were.... when Britain had the mandate. Who was it that built these..."
British, of course. And then they left, and Jews took over.
But even before the mandate Jews were those who transformed and revived the land, which its temporary tenants neglected and swamped during the dark ages of the Ottoman rule.
With revolutions beginning in Tunisia, and then moving on to Egypt, the Arab world is facing a new wave. One, where the young population has finally found its voice, and speaks up against oppression, fights instead for a democracy. As the wave washes over countries like Libya and Bahrain, one should question the potential change of the balance of power in the Middle East/ North Africa. With the vacuum of power in Egypt, one raises questions on who will now attempt and rise to power. Will it be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who were the only "political party to present a real alternative to Mubarak", or a military autocracy? The army, who chose the side of the people during the Egyptian revolution; refusing to fire their weapons on the protestors; but instead forming a sort of protection for the people against the police. This big, and unanswered question is a great concern for Israel and the United States. With the Egyptian people hating Israel, and the United States wanting the future Egyptian President to be pro-Israel, in attempt of keeping the relations between both nations as intact as possible. In a realistic perspective, Egypt will focus on maintaining the balance of power. Meaning that Egypt will try and keep Israel as its ally. Israel, on the other hand perceives Egypt as a balance of threat, which is hazardous in respect to international relations. If this discrepancy between both nations continues, it could potentially result in conflict.
Realism as a theory is based on the notion that human nature is not inherently good, as liberals would purport, but rather self-serving. In this case, Egypt's interest is to maintain its relations with Israel, and keep the border of the Gaza strip sealed. If Egypt were to demolish the 32 years bound treaty with Israel, Palestinian immigrants will flee into Egypt causing a sharp increase of immigration within the Egyptian population, which would, in turn not be not be in Egypt's self-interest.
Despite this, Israel is becoming paranoid with its surrounding neighbors, which could potential lead to devastating consequences. With Israel continuously fearing what could potential happen to them in the future, they will lead themselves inevitably to a power decline. If Israel perpetually looks behind its back, it might continue to only increase their material power, also known as the capacity to influence, rather than their intrinsic power, their capacity to coerce, creating suspicions from Iran and Egypt which could lead to a potential political tragedy. Meaning, that Israel will no longer have a justifiable reason as to why it has increased its material power; instead it will be Israel and not Egypt that will be viewed as a potential threat. This added suspicion to the already tense countries would potentially lead to conflict. However, it IS understandable why Israel perceives Egypt as a balance threat. Especially in terms of Egypt's geographical stance, and military capabilities. However, Israel should be mindful of Egypt's self interest as well, as mentioned earlier, are to keep Palestinians within the Gaza strip as well as become a democratic nation.
As seen above, as a realist, Israel should reduce its paranoia if it does not want to produce any future conflict. Also, it will be in Egypt's self interest to keep Israel as its ally for the time being, especially by keeping the Gaza strip bordered. I believe that a balancing coalition should form and could form if there is more sharing of information between both nations. A balance coalition will keep the balance of power as is in the region. Furthermore, if there is more transparency between both nations, and both becoming more democratic, can result to a democratic peace theory between both nations; meaning that ultimately they will not declare war on each other.
Israel, (not unlike Böhners Repubes actually, and other American ReichWingers) suffer from that nasty affliction, called False Victim-hood, leading to mock outrage, based on NOTHING.
They all seem to think that Israel is a victim in this instance.
Israel, a victim???
Israel, which could nuke the Middle-East 10 times over (but would then have to live in a radioactive dump, of course, if Tel Aviv wouldn't be wiped out by Tehrans lone nuke first. Or it's 2.3 dirty bombs).
Israel, that costs American taxpayers 3.5 times MORE than the entire
Education budget, and that does NOT create as many jobs in the defense industry as it used to, because, a grateful Israel doesn't "Buy American!" any more, but started to produce it's own weapons.
So Israel, with all it's money and weapons is most definitely NOT a victim. (And neither are the Repubes, no matter how much the ReichWing owned MSM may claim they are ....)
True Israeli visionaries would have grabbed this opportunity to make a deal with Abbas, excluding Hamas, relegating them to the tantrum bench. But Israels leaders are reigned by paranoid fear. A recipe for (nuclear) disaster?
I can see a point in future when a Likud-led Israel has isolated itself so much from the West, (of course Israel would view this as "abandonment" by the West instead) that it would start nuking Tehran.
Just to prove a point. This would be a Pyrrhic victory, of course, because the Saudis would then be forced to give some real weapons to whomever is then willing to nuke Israel, or look the other way if either Hamas or Iran does it.
Fortunately, all this is not really necessary. Bibi STILL has a chance to make a good deal with Abbas. He would really have to give up the Westbank (not his anyway) and East-Jerusalem. Since a Labour instigated peace deal would always run the risk of being recalled by a Likud govt, a Likud instigated peace deal would be more desirable.
Israel has done nothing to bring about peace. Peace or Apartheid - they have selected apartheid more settlements no land exchange for settlements. Very sad the number one grievance in the Middle East and no advancement of peace - Zero.
Reluctant polluter:
I think you have managed to strike a new low in the argument.
"Israel doesn't want to be legitimate; she already is".
Following this line of reasoning any entity which considers itself to be legitimate is therefore incapable of committing an illegal act. I would suggest as a test that you commit a series of illegal acts yourself and see what the consequences are. To put it succinctly, illegitimate or a legal is as illegal does. In other words the actions are what counts.
The fact that Israel is able to hide behind a permanent member of the Security Council (USA) and is therefore immune from the consequences of its actions do not make those actions legitimate or legal. It is the most outstanding case in recent history of the tail wagging the dog.
In the end both sides of this argument are beset by religious nonsense. The primary reason for setting up Israel in the first place was religious. A more equitable solution would have been to deal with a European problem in Europe by taking a prime piece of German real estate and making it into a Jewish nation. The main reason that the United States supports Israel, so completely, is to satisfy the religious convictions of voters. As far as Islam is concerned it recognizes that the state of Israel is a direct attack on its nonsensical religious beliefs, and acts accordingly.
So, we have each side saying to the other, my religious nonsense is superior to yours. This is a ridiculous argument to which there is no logical answer. I think the only hope we have is that sooner or later both sides will become tired of the argument and honestly try to find a solution. They have already invested 60 years and may be content to go for 100 who knows? As long as fundamentalists and extremists are in charge on both sides, as they are now, there will be no significant movement.
As long as the Hegemon can ezercise its veto again and again in defense of its ally, Israel can afford to go alone and will have little to fear about encirclement by enemies.
@Reluctant Potter:
@ Kufu:
"Just like Arab governments are reforming, so must Israel."
Please name ONE reformed Arab government. I don't mean those that reformed from dictatorial to Islamist, of course."
Kufu used the present tense, as it is happening now, not the past tense. Arab governments ARE reforming all governments must do over time. Israel is no exception to this rule if it wants to be 'legitimate'. And we need to stop thinking that criticizing Israel means that person is anti-Jew. No! If she (Israel) want to preach letters of the law (in this case international law), she has to live by it. Otherwise, she risks isolating herself totally.
I think you make your anti-Arab/Islam and pro-Israeli views on here abundantly clear. With all due respect, it is such a shame to hear such bigotism in a modern age.
Calm down your paranoia, Isaac, please. It is highly unlikely that Egypt will abrogate its peace treaty with Israel, since they don't seem eager to go to a war they know they would lose. But that does not mean Israel can expect the same cozy relationship with its neighbor. It will rather be given a frosty shoulder, Turkey-style. No more siege-partners here, sorry.
Don't worry Isaac, the Muslims are not out there to get you in Texas. They are too busy overthrowing the despots your presidents have been supporting all these decades.
This article is completely biased and myopic. It completely over represents Israeli perspective, the over quoting of Israeli sources leads me to think that the author closely identifies with that perspective. Why is there a conspicuous lack of alternate perspective offered in this piece????? Maybe someone should take a closer look at the political economy of this paper, it may elucidate the continual over valuation of Israeli perspective.
@ Reluctant P. (& oppositte numbers)
Surely you see the difference between Arab World Revolution and Arab World Revolution. A good leninist would want an Arab World-Revolution but a more parochial stalinist would settle for an Arab-World Revolution.Finally a revolutionary imperialist arab would dream of an Arab-World-Revolution, VIIth-century type.
Just changing the subject
Citizens of Cisjordan (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza will claim for their right to vote in the General Elections of their nation, ISRAEL!. They have to forget about ridiculous Independence in non-viable mini-states and ask for the right to vote in their nation, ISRAEL. Judea, Samaria and Gaza ARE PART OF ISRAEL, and Israel should recognize CIVIL RIGHTS to the citizens of Cisjordan and Gaza, who are ISRAELI CITIZENS.
So, staging their revolt, Egyptians sought democracy? Hm... maybe. But look what they've got instead: a charismatic leader akin to the infamous ayatollah Khomeini of Iran.
Enters Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who on Friday spoke to a giant cheering crowd in Tahrir Square.
Though some in the West view him as a moderate, Qaradawi supports the straight Islamist line: anti-American, anti-Western, wipe Israel off the map, foment jihad, stone homosexuals....in short, the works.
Well, well. Bye bye democracy, welcome Mohammedan theocracy.
Reluctant Polutter: There were road, telegram, water and sewerage infrastructure when Britain had the mandate. Who was it that built these, Genies? Your comments are racist and lack verifiable facts.
It one thing to speculate, but none know what's going to happen for sure. Israel could find it becomes a prison, or that it is ignored and these states are no friends but are non hostile and push the US to solve the Palestinian question with an oil price hike.
North African political unrest seems to act like a chain of dominos. Referenced in this article as a "regional earthquake," political and social revolution is rampant. First, Tunisian protestors fought against oppression. Egypt, Algeria, and now Lybia have fallen the same way. This maze of dominos does not just lie within North Africa, however. The Middle East, The European Union, and even the United States are feeling the reverberating effects of these political revolutions as well. Israel, a close neighbor to Egypt, is particularly scared of these revolutions. She is struggling to determine where, if at all, she fits into this domino game. Will Israel fall similar to several North African countries? Will it be forced to cooperate with new, military rule? What is to hold in Israel's immediate future is unclear, but realist theory suggests that it is all a game of trust and chance.
In 1978, Egyptian and Israeli leaders engaged in an award-winning dialogue known as the Camp David Accords. In this, Egypt acknowledged Israel as a state and began talks of peace. This dialogue led to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty of 1979. After centuries of border disputes and threats of war, the neighboring nations settled their disagreements and have honored their treaty for over thirty years. Though this story sounds like a fairy tale, massive negotiations and concessions had to be made to achieve this peace. The United States, who facilitated the discussions, offered military support and aid to both nations as long as peace was sustained. Israel, the United State's long standing ally, was inclined to cooperate; Egypt, however, needed some convincing. From 1978 until 2000, the United States supported Egypt's military with over $38 billion in aid. Today, Egypt receives $1.3 billion every year. With a classical realist perspective, one could argue that Egypt engaged in this treaty because of the large short term gains involved. Additionally, a defensive realist might argue that this U.S. incentive was put in place to maintain the balance of power. Nevertheless, because Egypt was in it for the border security, and U.S. aid, a realist might argue that Egyptian/Israeli conflict is now almost inevitable.
The fundamental assumption embedded in realist theory is anarchy. Every state acts in its best interest. They do not answer to a higher authority, nor do they act to benefit the world. However bleak this idea is, you see these interactions between states every day. Few states will trade without getting something of equal or greater value back. The United States provides tied aid to states around the world that binds them to an American economy. Finally, Israel and Egypt engaged in treaties of peace to decrease military costs and increase western approval. Anarchy says that a nation will not act unless it benefits them. If the lasting peace agreement no longer benefits the new Egyptian regime, Israel is in trouble.
What is in store for North Africa and the Middle East is unclear. The current military rule in Egypt is seemingly temporary, and various religious and political figures are vying for power. Israel, who is watching these huge and fast changes from her backyard, must hope for the best and prepare for the worst. The United States, Israel, and the United Nations are all hoping that the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty remains intact. In case of further political disturbance, however, Israel must engage in internal balancing. This development of the military and export production will aid in addressing external threat like the Egyptian military. According to realism, power is relative. Currently, Egypt's power is dwindling because of its unstable government. Now is Israel's time to build up its military and economy and prevent political protest or outside threat.
Seeing as any article about Israel tends to attract nonsensical bias from both sides of the issue, I will attempt to merely analyze the information presented based solely on theory, and I will try to exclude my personal opinion.
The article seems to base the majority of its assumptions on the causes of Israel's anxiety from a realist perspective. For those of you that blindly make comments based upon your core Islamophobia or Anti-semitism, a realist perspective on bases itself off the fact that since the international state system is always in a state of anarchy, information costs are high. Thus, one can never know another state's intentions, and will therefore focus on its own security and survival and seek to maximize relative gains.
Thus it appears that Netanyahu and the Israeli leadership's major concerns arise over the uncertain outcome of the revolution in Egypt. For the past 30 years, Israel has been relatively comfortable with the state of its eastern and Sinai borders; however, with the revolutionary wave thats sweeping the region, these borders are becoming an increasing cause for concern. Egypt (and Jordan if the monarchy falls) may very well throw out their respective treaties with Israel. Thus, Israel will have to worry about a possible balancing by its Arab neighbors against it. However, even if Israel feels threatened by the proximate power, offensive intentions, and aggregate power of this balance, its will have to turn to the US and Europe, as its only two allies in the region (though they never openly collaborated together) will no longer be there. Another way in which countries (including those whose intentions are quite clear, such as Iran) have sought to balance against Israel is through attacks condemning the state, such as Goldstone Report, which targeted Israel for responding to daily rocket attacks from Gaza, and the outrage over the flotilla incident. These attacks have done nothing but strengthen the Israeli realist argument that they are alone in the world....with the potential loss of key peace partners in Egypt and Jordan, Israel at the very least may be alone in the region.
Furthermore, this realist perspective may pose another issue as the support of the United States for Israel in international forums, once considered a given, has become another point of uncertainty. The US may have vetoed the resolution in the UN, but there were some serious concerns among the pro-Israel community about whether or not this would occur.
To sum up my possible ramblings, Israel's major concerns for the future rely on the realist views espoused by its leaders. With these views, they acknowledge that you can never know another country's intentions, and therefore, will assume the worst.Thus, if Israel loses its peace treaties with Jordan and Egypt, it will seek to build its power and maximize its security. Which of course, leads its hostile neighbors to believe that Israel is planning an attack, thus causing them to also build up their arms, and what results is an arms race, with tensions mounting until they reach a boiling point where the situation escalates into an all out war. Netanyahu summed up the situation quite well when he stated "A peace treaty does not itself guarantee peace." If such views are as widespread in Israel as the author suggests, peace under a two state solution appears to be far off, if in the picture at all.

Members of Ohio Action Now, a coalition of pro-Obama groups and individuals, plans a Friday rally near Republican congressman Steve Chabot's downtown office to urge him to support President Obama's plans to raise taxes on Americans making over $250,000 a year.
Chabot opposes Obama's plan.
Ohio Action Now leaders say they will present a report from Innovation Ohio, one of their member groups, that they say will show flaws in the budget proposal from House Speaker John Boehner.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls - who was Cincinnati's mayor in the 1990s - will formally announce her candidacy in the 2013 mayoral race Thursday morning in Walnut Hills.
The current mayor, Mark Mallory, who is term-limited out in 2013, will accompany Qualls at a gathering at a pottery factory on Gilbert Avenue in Walnut Hills.
Mallory's 2009 campaign manager, Jens Sutmoller, will run Qualls' 2013 bid for the mayor's office.
One other candidate, also a Democrat, has announced his candidacy for mayor - former council member John Cranley.
Now that the votes are officially counted, it's time to empty the notebook on the 2012 election and turn the page. Here are some parting thoughts:
Big Blue: One of the enduring myths of American politics, if you talk to many pundits and politicos around the country, is that Cincinnati is rock-solid Republican country.
Maybe they confuse the city with the county and the region as a whole, which definitely has a red due. Or maybe it goes back to the fact that the Taft political dynasty came from the Queen City.
Cincinnati city council member Christopher Smitherman was re-elected to a fourth two-year term Tuesday as president of the Cincinnati chapter of the NAACP, fighting off a challenge from a long-time union leader, Bob Richardson.
At Richardson's request, Tuesday's election was supervised by officials of the NAACP's national office, who would not release the final results of the election, except to say that about 1,100 members voted Tuesday at the NAACP's Bond Hill office.
Smitherman's entire executive committee was re-elected as well.
The only relatively close ballot issue in Hamilton County in the Nov. 6 election - Issue 4, which sets Cincinnati city council terms at four years instead of two - picked up votes in the official vote count released this morning and passed easily.
President Obama, too, picked up votes and widened his lead over Republican Mitt Romney in Hamilton County.
When all the provisional ballots and overseas and military ballots were added, Issue 4 passed with 51.4 percent of the vote. The unofficial election night total had the issue passing with 51 percent.

Steve Carell's New L.A. $10 Million Mansion Has Its Own Elevator -- For His Cars!
The Office' funny man has built his dream family and public records obtained by CB! reveal it has some cool extras.
Steve Carell is about to dazzle as a magician in 'Incredible Burt Wonderstone' -- and he has some new tricks at home, too.
According to public records filed with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, the 50-year-old actor and his wife Nancy Carell have built their dream two-storey home -- a Cape Cod-style mansion in Toluca Lake, Calif -- complete with a giant swimming pool, spa, cabana, guest-house and private tennis court.
But Carrell's home "office" is a sight to behold.
In the massive 5028 sq ft basement, the silver screen comedian has installed his own home theater with powder room, its own bathroom and a recreation room — all served by an elevator.
His double garage is equally as impressive, too. The noted car enthusiast has built his own "automobile elevator", records reveal.
Both the elevator and a staircase can take guests to the second floor of the home, which has three bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms plus a 'Rumpus Room' for his two kids, Elizabeth, 12, and eight-year-old John, to play in.
What else is inside?On the 7058 sq ft first floor, there is a guest room with adjacent bathroom plus a study, living room, dining room and a den which leads to an outdoor porch.
At the back of the house, there is a large kitchen with an adjacent breakfast room and Butler's pantry.
Carrell, who also likes mountain bike riding, built a "mud room" -- a entryway intended as an area to remove and store footwear -- next to his laundry.
The grounds of the estate are beautifully landscaped with automatic lights throughout.
"This is a great neighborhood, really family friendly and secure. He can count Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Love Hewitt as among his neighbors," a source close to Carrell told Celebuzz."There are a lot of famous people who live here, but Steve and his wife are very friendly with the neighbors – he acts like a regular family guy not like a typical, flashy Hollywood celebrity."
Is Steve Carell's mansion totally magic ? Let us know, leave your comments below.

I received these yesterday (fresh pulled bulb, stalk and bulbils) and am so pleased since I've been interested in Egyptian Walking Onions since first seeing them in this forum. I just don't know what to do next! (Long story, but I don't know who left them for me, so can't ask him/her.)
I know I could run a search, but am so swamped at the moment if anyone could give some concise first steps to get me started I'd really appreciate it very much. BTW, I have a small garlic bed with garlic about ready to harvest. Can these crops take turns in that bed? TYIA Diane |

Had a few moments and found what I needed. |
I'm in western NY, and I plant my top bulbs in the fall, end of Sept or in Oct. it doesn't seem to matter, just as long as they get a good start before the ground freezes. I plant them almost touching each other for harvesting in the spring, leaving every second or third or so to develop sets on top for planting in the fall. If you leave them all in they will also multiply on the bottom, but get pretty thick after a while and are tough to keep weeded |
We have them here, and they grow by dropping themselves on the soil. I don't do a thing, but pull up the ones we don't want. Most of them, that is! They are a little too hot and spicy for us, but I give many away, so others can grow them because they look different. They are in the ground all year in our area, Wa. state. darlene |

The garden is one of the most wonderful parts of a home. People want their garden to be beautiful, but comfortable as well. This can be achieved if you plan and design your garden properly. Garden furniture is an absolute must in that, since it helps you to sit down comfortably and enjoy the tranquillity and peacefulness of your space. Your furniture does have to compliment to overall design of your garden of course, which can easily be achieved considering the amount of choices that are available today.
Different Types and Materials
Garden furniture comes in all sorts of types and materials. Wood is very popular, but so is plastic, aluminium, wrought iron or stone to name but a few. Choosing the right one depends on what you will use it for as well. A stone bench at the end of a path is absolutely gorgeous, but without a cushion, it is unlikely that you will spend several hours reading a book or meditating on there.
Seating Arrangements
One thing you need to consider is your seating arrangements. Benches are great, but they aren't very flexible. This is why most people also choose to have a few deck chairs or even regular folding chairs. If you have a big garden, you could use these to dine alfresco, for instance. Of course, this means you will also need a garden table and perhaps a parasol. Parasols are great because they not only protect you from the rays of the sun if it is getting too hot, they also protect your from rain if the weather isn't as nice.
Pure Relaxation
You also have to consider that you will use your garden to sit down and relax all by yourself. This means installing a little corner just for you is an absolute necessity. You may be super practical and think a deck chair is good enough, because you can also move it around and use it if there are more people in your garden, but wouldn't it be so much nicer if you had your own hammock? Or maybe you would prefer a swinging chair just for your own moments of relaxation.
Of course, if you simply love to bathe in the sun, then you will need a good lounger as well. Make sure you pick one that is really comfortable, because we all have a tendency to fall asleep on those, and waking up with a backside full of slat-marks is perhaps not the best idea.
